Just posting to be evangelical about training with weights. I’ve exercised for years (Mainly reluctantly!). You name it, I did it…..step, hit, aerobics, c25k, swimming….liked some more than others but for last 6 months I’ve been training with weights. Largish ones (for me). That plus Body Pump ( again weights but lighter) has been the most transforming thing I’ve ever done. I haven’t lost weight but I am the most toned I’ve ever been and so much stronger!
I fast walk our dogs so get a cardio workout too but nothing excessive, just to keep heart healthy.
I wish I’d started it earlier. Waving goodbye to spin and treadmills now. It’s the way forward!
